Hi, Are there any recommendations as to what is currently the most stable setup is for mongrel & apache? I read somewhere (probably here) that you should avoid using PStore for sessions.

A couple of questions please: What is the benefit of having more than one Mongrel/Rails instance on the same machine, could one instance not serve as many requests as say three instances? Is Mongrel Cluster a Apache add-in (like mod_*) or a separately running load balancer which runs on a separate port, I could not work it out from the sample Apache config... |# Redirect all non-static

Hi, I just moved from 1.08 to 1.10 and now have one example failing, which, under 1.08, passed. Is the due to a change in behaviour?

I got this to begin with: #!/usr/bin/env ruby require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../config/boot'' players = Player.find :all But it complains about a DB connection. How do I set this up? Jeroen

Hi, Just thought it was weird that Ruby doesn''t automatically cast ints to floats. Seems so un-rubyish irb(main):006:0> 12/16 => 0 irb(main):007:0> 12.to_f / 16.to_f => 0.75 Jeroen

Here''s my output: cap restart loading configuration

Hi, I recently bought by first Mac and I''m looking for some alternatives for my windows applications. Does anybody know a decent gui admin app for postgresql? On windows I use postgresql manager: http://www.sqlmanager.net/en/products/postgresql/manager I find this a very good piece of software and it''s free, even though I paid a little for some extra features.

Hi, I wrote a little helper that calulates someone''s age based on his/her date of birth. def age(dob) diff = Date.today - dob age = (diff / 365.25).floor age.to_s end It works fine, but it''s not completely accurate as it just takes the average days in a year. It should be able to calculate this more accurately, right? I can''t work it out

Hi everybody I am trying to get RoR to work with lighttpd. Nearly there, but I am stuck with a strange phenomenon. If I configure lighttpd to serve pages on say port 2000, I can get at my testapp fine and see the "Welcome aboard" page. However, if I configure lighttpd to use port 80, I get a download prompt from my browser. If I access my URI like

I''d like to do something like if isset(myvar) and myvar.true? #some code else #default behaviour end I have a lot of shared views that I call with params such as { show_pager => true Instead of having to explicitly say show_pager => false it should be possible to make false a default value, right?

Hi, I''m trying to include a partial in an email template but it throws me this: undefined method `controller_path'' for SupportMailer:Class Extracted source (around line #12): 11: 12: <%= render :partial => ''footer'' %> I guess email views are a little different from normal ones as they don''t seem to have a access to a proper controller (?)
